Milwaukee Police District 6 and Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission are working together to empty the animal shelter by highlighting dogs on the police station’s Facebook page. Sitting in a police cruiser usually means bad news, but for 1-year-old boxer mix Arya, it could be a free ride to her new forever home.Arya has been in MADACC for a week. But recently, she left the shelter, heading to Milwaukee Police District 6 for a photoshoot.”In the past, we’ve done some community service projects at MADACC, and of course, we utilize them for our stray dogs and lost animals, so through that partnership, we had a conversation in regards to showcasing dogs,” Michael Ward, a community liaison officer for MPD District 6, said. “We thought it was a simple thing that we could do to help. So we decided to invite them out, showcase a dog every other week, and we put him or her on Facebook and hopefully someone will adopt them.”The dogs’ pictures range from glamor shots to goofy shots, sometimes with props added. “They’re pretty entertaining,” Kristin Catalano, the MADACC volunteer who brings the dogs to District 6, said. “We’ll take the dog and put them in the squad car, and when it was Christmas time, they had the whole Christmas set up. Just different things like trying to put a hat on the dog, posing near a Packers sign.”MPD and MADACC typically try to feature dogs that have been at the shelter for an extended period of time in an effort to get them adopted faster. “Some of those dogs have been sitting for two to three months in a kennel, and they’re good dogs, that’s the thing — they’re all really, really good dogs,” Catalano said. Those good dogs, just need to be given a chance to leave the shelter that’s almost always at capacity.”I don’t like to see them caged up, so if we can get them out, allow them to be who they are, run around and have a good time and just get to a loving home… it’s just the best,” Ward said.MPD District 6 showcases dogs every other week on its Facebook page.
